sample of missing transparency

I usually place text frames on a picture by giving the text frame either white or black background colour and setting it to 100% transparency. This used to work until my previous version of LibreOffice (I think 4.1.something). However, in 4.3.5 the text frames come out as either solid white or solid black. So this must be a new bug.

I also tested it with 4.3.5 on a Mac. The transparency is correctly retained there, so it's an OS-dependent bug. I'm attaching a sample PDF. The solid white and black frames shouldn't be there.
